FOOD FRAUD: Why government and 'experts' have fed you dangerous dietary advice for decades

Salt is bad. Sugar is bad. Carbs are bad. Cholesterol is bad. Calories are bad. Fat is bad.

Bad also are the whole, natural foods that sustained our ancestors during an era relatively free of the modern plagues of cancer and heart disease – foods like eggs, raw milk, butter, cheese and red meat.

Something is rotten in America's food bureaucracy. Indeed, as documented in February's stunningly eye-opening Whistleblower magazine, "FOOD FRAUD," Americans have been seriously deceived about food and what constitutes a "healthy diet" for a very long time.

"This issue of Whistleblower tells the amazing and sometimes shocking story of how the food establishment – including the food industry and its marketers, major 'health' organizations, government and even the medical bureaucracy – has pushed profoundly misguided advice and questionable theories on the American public regarding which foods are healthful and which are not," said WND managing editor David Kupelian.

Fortunately, he added, "once you've understood how these powerful modern food myths came into being, and how new research is disproving them, you may well notice your common sense rising up and shouting, 'Yes, I've always thought that!'"

Highlights of "FOOD FRAUD" include:

"We have become so confused about food in this modern, supposedly enlightened age," said Kupelian. "But the plain truth is that many peoples of the earth have somehow eaten right, long before the aid of modern science. Before we knew about vitamins and minerals, or understood the importance of enzymes and phytochemicals, before we knew much about human physiology and digestion and disease pathology or even recognized the existence of germs – many cultures nevertheless managed to embrace perfectly sensible and health-promoting diets. They knew something.
